Grant Member 453 Member For: 22y 5m 15d Location: Kurrajong, Sydney Posted 01/10/04 12:11 AM Share Posted 01/10/04 12:11 AM Ok, has anyone had this? Not sure if the water is coming in from outside the car or from the cooling system somehow.... But I can hear the sloshing of water on the passenger side of the dash and the floor under it is wet.Grant Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/13173-leaking-car/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then its your heater core, but I think this would smell BAD!

NighEve Member 193 Member For: 20y 9m 1d Posted 01/10/04 08:24 AM Share Posted 01/10/04 08:24 AM I saw this post yesterday and didn't even think twice about it..... Maybe I got hit with 'Ford Karma' because today my passenger politely asked me why water was dripping on her legs (WTF!). Yep, bloody thing seems to have some kind of block in there backing it up and making it spill over. Ford will not only have the brake shudder to fix next week, this should keep them busy too... They'll probably try and blame me somehow (I'll have my boxing gloves on ready). You would think that they could have designed it a bit better to avoid creating blockages. I hope this is not going to be an indicator of what to look forward to...

Guest phantom t Guests Posted 03/10/04 11:32 PM Share Posted 03/10/04 11:32 PM Definate a/c drain tube blockage. If it were the heater core it would tend to leak out the drain tube unless the tube is blocked.

They fixed the problem, ripped out my carpet and replaced it too - pretty happy with some good service. Hooray for a good local dealer!Grant Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/13173-leaking-car/#findComment-173006 Share on other sites More sharing options...
